CBeebies Pablo – Live Lesson Date: Thursday, 30th November 2017 Time: 11:30am Duration: 25 minutes (approx.) Live and 25 mins EXTRA (this will be published on the website on Monday, 4th December). Location: bbc.co.uk/livelessons (Note: if you can’t watch the live programme, you will be able to watch a recording on the Live Lessons website within half an hour of being broadcast)

This art and design Live Lesson is aimed at 5-7 year olds:

• Year 1 and Year 2 pupils in England and Wales • Primary 1, Primary 2 pupils in Scotland • P1 and P2 pupils in Northern Ireland

Curriculum links include:

• Using drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination.

• Reflecting on their own and others’ work. • By engaging in experiences within the expressive arts, children and young people will

recognise and represent feelings and emotions, both their own and those of others.

Setup

How much space and equipment is needed?

The lesson can be screened in a classroom with a large screen linked to a reliable broadband connection. Good audio equipment is not essential but will make the event more enjoyable. Students will need a hard surface (such as a table), as they will be drawing on paper.

How many students can participate?

It’s completely up to you how many students you have participating in the session. We want to get as many students as possible engaged in this Live Lesson. Space might be a consideration if you have a very large group.

Content

This Live Lesson is in collaboration with the new CBeebies series Pablo - the first animated TV series to star an autistic character and the first TV programme with an all-autistic core cast. Pablo uses his magic crayons to turn his life challenges into fantastic adventures and his feelings into colourful characters with a voice - in the art of his imagination, just about anything can happen!

During the lesson, students will be tasked with a selection of drawing exercises – drawing along with Bob Price, Pablo’s Art Director.

The Live programme will focus on how to draw different facial expressions/emotions, culminating in an exercise in which students create their own character, drawing in the style of Pablo.

The EXTRA lesson will focus on self-portraits and drawing styles of different artists in addition to answering more of your questions.
